Theme: The Quantum Realm – Time Travel to Teleportation to Cyber & Entanglement

July 26 – August 1, 2026 | Griffiss Business & Technology Park & STEAM Venues Across Central New York

Step into the frontier of discovery at the 8th Annual Project Fibonacci STEAM Leadership Conference, where students ages 15–19 are invited to explore the cutting edge of science, technology, ethics, and imagination. This year’s theme—“The Quantum Realm: Time Travel to Teleportation to Cyber & Entanglement”—dives deep into the mysteries and emerging realities of quantum theory and its transformative impact on our world.

Across this immersive week-long program, scholars will investigate how quantum concepts are reshaping our understanding of space, time, and reality. From theoretical time travel to practical teleportation research, from quantum computing to advanced cyber systems to particle entanglement, participants will engage with leading experts and hands-on experiences that illuminate technologies poised to redefine humanity’s future.

Hosted at the Griffiss Business & Technology Park and STEAM venues throughout Central New York, the conference blends workshops, lectures, innovation labs, leadership development, and collaborative challenges designed to inspire the next generation of critical thinkers and world-changers.

The Project Fibonacci® Foundation will make every effort to secure full or partial scholarships/stipends so that as many students as possible can participate. Scholarship/stipend awards will be determined at a later date.  Students seeking scholarship assistance simply need to submit an entry that will be reviewed by our admissions board. If you are already being sponsored by a school, organization, or company at the time of registration, you do not need to complete the scholarship submission.

To reserve a spot in the program, families will need to pay the $150 deposit that can be paid in three installments within a 60-day period from the date of registering  where the first $50 is nonrefundable to cover associated administration costs. While we cannot guarantee scholarships, many students who complete the submission process often receive substantial support. We strongly encourage any student with financial concerns to apply — our goal is to make this opportunity accessible, and we are committed to helping families find a path forward.
